Chemical Structure
Lofepramine hydrochloride
Synonym(s): Lopramine hydrochloride
- CAS No.: 26786-32-3
- Formula:C26H28Cl2N2O
- Molecular Weight:455.42
IUPAC Name: 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((3-(10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[b,f]azepin-5-yl)propyl)(methyl)amino)ethan-1-one hydrochloride
InChIKey: ZWZIQPOLMDPIQM-UHFFFAOYSA-N
SMILES: CN(CC(C1=CC=C(Cl)C=C1)=O)CCCN2C3=CC=CC=C3CCC4=CC=CC=C42.Cl
Biological Activity: Lofepramine (Lopramine) is a modified tricyclic and orally active antidepressant. Lofepramine inhibits the uptake of Noradrenaline (NA) (HY-13715) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) with IC50s of 2.7 μM and 11 μM, respectively. Lofepramine exerts its antidepressant activity by promoting noradrenergic neurotransmission. Lofepramine also enhances serotonergic neurotransmission by inhibiting neuronal uptake of 5-HT and tryptophan pyrrolase. Lofepramine exhibits significant anxiolytic properties. [1][2][3][4].
